Morrow, LA
Morrow, LA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Morrow at the 45th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 128 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Morrow at the 47th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Morrow's 128 counted buildings, 50% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Morrow compares
Morrow's risk sits at a similar level relative to Louisiana (47th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (45th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Morrow ranks 17,362 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,801 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 261 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Morrow
Morrow's elevated wildfire rating (45th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Morrow
Morrow's 50% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
